Easily Suppress Page Headers and Footers on the First Page of Your Microsoft Access Report

Provided by: FMS Development Team

Background

Microsoft Access reports can have report headers/footers and
page headers/footers. Report header and footer appear only once on the first
and last page of the report. The Page header and footer appear at the top
and bottom of every page. By default, the page header and footer also appear on the first and last page.

Problem

There are times when one doesn't want the page header or footer to appear on page 1 with the Report Header.

Solution

The page header and footer can be programmatically suppressed by making those sections invisible for page 1, but a simpler
way is to use the obscure Page Header property at the Report level. Note this property is not to be confused with the Page Header section.
The values available for this property are:

All Pages

Not with Rpt Hdr

Not with Rpt Ftr

Not with Rpt Hdr/Ftr

The default value is All Pages. Setting the Page Header property of
the report to “Not with Rpt Hdr” suppresses the page header only on the
first page of the report, showing it on all other pages.
